Sounds like a lot of studying. Why to do it?

If you want to be a doctor in the USA, you've got the answer.

If you are happy where you are, and want to work in your home country or elsewhere in Europe, that's good. It's the easier way.
You don't need the USMLE, unless you have OCPD personality, no better things to do and money to spend :)

What's this site about?

Peer advice

I have written these pages after doing USMLEs in 2014. It is essentialy a snapshot of my feelings, reflections and ideas on these tests ...and also a kind of "self-delivered" psychotherapy for adjustment disorder :).

I tried to write a brief yet usefull summary of my advices for those contemplating or preparing for this exam. Many similar experiences has been written; however, most of them are written by students from carribbean, India and middle East. My contribution is a perspective from the central Europe: I studied medicine at Masaryk University (Brno, Czech republic). Therefore, students and graduates from Central Europe: Germany, Austria, Bohemia, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia or Romania might find my notes more relevant.
